Abstract

Le développement extraordinaire des technologies d'information et de communication laisse entrevoir des progrès considérables dans les domaines de l'économie, des loisirs et plus généralement de la connaissance. Ces progrès seront-ils partagés par tous ? L'expression " fracture numérique ", apparue il y a une dizaine d'années aux Etats-Unis, interroge un monde idyllique ou chacun, partout, bénéficierait des apports des nouvelles technologies digitales. Des lignes de clivage numérique apparaissent pourtant entre groupes sociaux, générations, régions et parties du monde. Qui plus est, certaines fissures tendent inexorablement à s'élargir, justifiant le terme de fracture. Peut-on espérer réduire la fracture numérique et comment y parvenir ? La première partie du livre répond à ces questions. Dans la deuxième partie, l'auteur ouvre la réflexion autour de questions essentielles : La fracture numérique peut-elle être réduite par le téléphone mobile ? La principale fracture numérique est-elle Nord/Sud ?...

Abstract

"Wireless networks are the fastest growing communications technology in history. Are mobile phones expressions of identity, fashionable gadgets, tools for life - or all of the above? Mobile Communication and Society looks at how the possibility of multimodal communication from anywhere to anywhere at any time affects everyday life at home, at work, and at school, and raises broader concerns about politics and culture both global and local." "Drawing on data gathered from around the world, the authors explore who has access to wireless technology, and why, and analyze the patterns of social differentiation seen in unequal access. They explore the social effects of wireless communication - what it means for family life, for example, when everyone is constantly in touch, or for the idea of an office when workers can work anywhere. Is the technological ability to multitask further compressing time in our already hurried existence?" "The authors consider the rise of a mobile youth culture based on peer-to-peer networks, with its own language of texting, and its own values. They examine the phenomenon of flash mobs, and the possible political implications. And they look at the relationship between communication and development and the possibility that developing countries could "leapfrog" directly to wireless and satellite technology. This sweeping book - moving easily in its analysis from the United States to China, from Europe to Latin America and Africa - answers the key questions about our transformation into a mobile network society."--Jacket.

Abstract

Cell phones and mobile technologies are omnipresent in everyday life, yet the cultural implications of mobile phones have been neglected. This book aims to fill this gap, providing the first comprehensive, accessible, and international introduction to cell phone culture and theory. It offers a clear yet sophisticated overview of mobile telecommunications, putting the technology in historical and technical context. ' Cell Phone Culture 'is a fascinating biography of an important cultural object, that adopts an integrated, multiperspectival approach to the cultural and social shaping of technology. Goggin considers the mobile phone from the standpoint of its history, production, design, consumption, and representation, as well as its deep implication in contemporary media convergence - such as digital photography, mobile blogging, mobile Internet, and mobile television. Interdisciplinary in its conceptual framework, 'Cell Phone Culture 'draws on a wide range of national, regional, and internationalexamples, to carefully explore the new forms of consumption and use of communication and media technology that the phenomenon of mobiles represents. 'Cell Phone Culture' also reflects upon the challenges and provocations of mobile phone technology, use, and consumption for doing cultural and media studies today.

Abstract

Ethical dilemmas have risen in number and intensity with the increasing dependence of contemporary society on computers and computer networks. Despite the proliferation of expert remedies, viable solutions to computer security issues remain too elusive, and society continues to suffer at the hands of cyber criminals, vandals, and hackers. This comprehensive third edition of the successful Ethical and Social Issues in the Information Age takes off where the second ended to examine ethical, social, and policy challenges stemming from the emergence of cyberspace, the convergence of telecommunication and computing technologies, and the miniaturalization of computing, telecommunication, and information-enabling devices. This accessible volume broadly surveys thought-provoking questions about the impact of these new technologies, with particular emphasis on the rapid growth of a multitude of computer networks, including the Internet. It assumes only a very modest familiarity with the basic computer literacy. Topics and features: • Describes how changes in information technology influence morality and the law • Provides fundamental discussion of network-security system design and operation to reveal vulnerable areas in computer network infrastructure (NEW chapter) • Surveys the history of computing and the evolution of computer crimes • Explores biometric techniques to system access control (NEW chapter) • Incorporates recent requirements for computer curricula • Introduces and explores techniques in electronic crime investigation (NEW chapter) • Assesses workplace concerns related to privacy, surveillance, and virtual offices • Offers a pertinent discussion on civil liberties, harassment, and discrimination • Contains chapter-ending exercises, and the author provides instructor classroom support materials and teaching guides at his website This newly revised text/reference provides an updated discussion of the ethical and social issues that continue to evolve as computing and information technologies proliferate. Students at all levels who need to learn about computer ethics, the legal aspects of computing, network security, computer crime investigation, and biometrics will find this well documented work an invaluable resource. The book is also highly useful for practitioners needing such insights for their work. Supplementary material can be found at: www.utc.edu/faculty/Joseph-Kizza.
